This is the tenth episode of eleven that will discuss Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War that took place in New Mexico.
In this episode, Billy the Kid, Billy Wilson, Rudabaugh, and Tom Pickett are taken from Stinking Springs to Fort Sumner before heading to Las Vegas and then to Santa Fe. There is a tense moment on the train platform in Las Vegas. The men are interviewed by various newspapers. The Governor still ignores Billy & his pardon as the men sit in the Santa Fe jail. Finally, Billy’s taken to Mesilla to sit in the corrupt Judge Bristol’s court.
I end the episode with the court hearing, the verdict, and the sealing of Billy the Kid’s fate.

The Civil War in the Southwest: Confederate Tucson, Baylor’s Resignation, & Sibley’s Capture of Santa Fe
This is the seventh episode in the series over the Civil War in the American Southwest.
In this episode the Rebels ride into Tucson and declare it as the westernmost city of the Confederate Empire as Baylor invades Mexico to give the Apaches “hot pursuit”. Meanwhile, Sibley walks north and takes Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The taking of Santa Fe marks the only time the Rebel forces of the Confederate States of America occupy the capitol of a Union Territory in the entire Civil War. The Army of New Mexico then prepares to use a three pronged attack against Fort Union. Captain Sherod Hunter, Baylor’s resignation after an international incident, The Colorado Volunteers, and the hardships of the Rebels long march north are all discussed.
